I found my answer..

 select * from Employee where __key__ = KEY('Employee',1), without the
quotes around 1 worked.

The other thing I was doing incorrectly, was that for the KEY()  function, I
need to pass the long string that is generated

SELECT * FROM Employee where __key__ =
KEY('aghzaGFzZWR2zzIUCxIIRW1wbG95ZWUiBlNoYWhlZAw')
